How is the art of the Renaissance different from the art of the Middle Ages?

There are several differences between the art of the Middle Ages and the art of the Renaissance. In the Middle Ages, paintings were painted with no perspective. This means that everything looked flat, with no shape. Brunelleschi was the first person to paint with perspective. Also, the architecture was slightly different. Middle Age architects used two main styles, Gothic and Romanesque. During the Renaissance, architects started to go back to the classical style of building. They copied off of buildings like the Pantheon.
